I liked Vivian Arend's Rocky Ride.

Was kind ambivalent on Beyond Temptation by Kit Rocha. Didn't read Lauren Dane's story.

Beyond Temptation

By
Kit Rocha
It’s taken the girls a couple of books in the Beyond Series for us to finely get a taste of Noah Lennox. And do we ever, not your typical geek squad here. Our boy Noah likes his women dirty, really dirty. Of course that is the only thing Dallas O’Kane deals in, really fucking dirty.
, her
“I’ll hurt you. I won’t want or mean to, but I’ll do it. Mark my words, Emma”
Four years ago, Noah paid for Emma’s freedom into the mountains, but things don’t always end up like they should in the Sectors. Emma Cibulski, to her Noah was her brother’s best friend, her first love, but he left her, so she could have a better life. Enter Dallas O’Kane, leader of Sector 4 and newly appointed leader of Sector 3. Dallas offers Emma a better life as an O’kane, a life that has had her happy, but with only one thing missing: Noah!


In true O’Kane fashion, this book is ballsy, sexy and yes, dirty; as only Kit Rocha can write. Loved the start of Noah and Emma’s story, looking forward to the next Beyond in the series. Summing up with this: Marked by Noah.

O’Kane for Life!

Read Kit Rocha's story only. That's the reason I grabbed it. Very saucy. Will read the others at a later time.

FTC : I was given this for an honest review by Vivian Arend. I would not let my good opinion of her, or any of the other authors for that matter, influence the review. I just did enjoy this.

I find anthologies hard to review. Each contribution is a short story and I find it hard to not over-spoil in those reviews. Also, do I review the collection or each book? It’s such a hard balance to find but with this one, I’m going to try my question and answer type review…. should get away from the spoiler issue at the very least :)This a shortened version of the review on the blog http://www.scorching-book-reviews.com/a-nix-anthology-review-marked-by-kit-rocha-vivian-arend-and-lauren-dane-5-stars/

If I had to some up the theme of this anthology it would be …….

……. Love, lust and exhibitionism. Seriously, there is a LOT of public sex :)

What star rating would I give each of the books?

5 stars all round. Helps that all of these authors are on the auto-buy list anyway!

How would I sum up each story in three words?

Beyond Temptation ; Dystopian, kinky and gritty

Rocky Ride ; Fun, sexy and biker-y :)

All that Remains : Hot, kinky and angsty


Heat-levels?

Hot, hot, hot!!

Favorite parts of the anthology….

Beyond Temptation : A gun-fight scene where Emma demands that Noah sees her as a partner

Rocky Ride : The scene with the hand-cuffs near the end … hot, hot, hot!

All that Remains : The blow-job scene near the start …. what can I say, I’m nothing but predictable :)

Overall, this is a very hot anthology. All of these books can be read as standalone and I recommend that you get it if you have never been introduced to any of these authors as you may find a new series to love. If you like your stories angsty and your sex content kinky, try this book!

ALL THAT REMAINS by Lauren Dane

I didn't connect with Summer, Charlie and Hatch as quickly as I wanted to while reading this story. I liked each of them individually, but it took some convincing for me to see them as a workable triad. I really felt like Summer allowed the past to hold her back too long. The story is very sexy and I do look forward to reading more stories in this series.

ROCKY RIDE by Vivian Arend

I really liked Anna and Mitch as a couple. I didn't get her need to hide Mitch, but figured if he could get past that I could too. The chemistry was pretty hot between Mitch and Anna. I've come to expect a pretty high level of sexiness from Vivian Arend, and she totally delivered with Mitch and Anna. Look forward to reading more about the Thompson clan.

BEYOND TEMPTATION


I love the O'Kane series from Kit Rocha and was excited to learn more about Noah and Emma. I've come to expect "Hotter Than Hot" stories from Kit Rocha, and Noah and Emma's totally fit the bill. I loved how protective he was of Emma, but loved even more how strong she was. The O'Kane series is one of my favorites out right now and I countdown to each new release to get my fix.
